Check out Khan Academy—it is an exceptional way to learn math. Far better than that Common Core nonsense.

I'm not a vegetarian or vegan, so I don't know why you're conflating my devil's advocate argument with those philosophies. > A mouse’s interests are not on par with the interests of a child For an anti-speciesist, thi

Crypto is a great utility in this respect, when physical commodities and fiats are severely regulated or vulnerable to seizure in times of strife. But when using crypto, you are fundamentally trading high utility in exchange for high risk.

This resonates with me. It deeply disturbs me that other animals still don’t have rights on parity with humans. I can play devil’s advocate and make the ethical argument that animal lives have more intrinsic value than human lives. For one,

Thanks. It’s understandable that it’s radical so I put a little note that I’m not offering medical advice.

Yeah. Admittedly, I was frustrated with having to rely on $1000+ a month prescriptions to treat my symptoms rather than the underlying cause. My venture into researching the human microbiome and homemade enemas was sprinkled with “danger” a

Edit: Not medical advice. Cancer is largely a failure of the immune system, and it is well known that nearly 70% of the immune system lives in the digestive tract. Sometimes the microbiome in that digestive tract gets messed up, paving the

Yes, eliminate cookies entirely. Let companies revert to relying on consumer feedback and word of mouth praise rather than cyberstalking.

When you have anxiety and there’s a “reason” for it, it’s not actually anxiety. This is called stress, since you know that the underlying cause is work. It’s an important distinction, similar to panic attacks versus anxiety attacks. Knowing

Reminds me of people who are staunchly anti-systemd. They are luddite masochists who prefer shit that is inconvenient or broken for the sake of being a contrarian hipster.

I’m in my late 20s. Here I am trying to actively lower my testosterone to reduce my sex drive. I am taking vitex (a.k.a chaste tree) and it’s working wonderfully. I’ve noticed increased concentration, too. I like it a lot, especially sinc

Regardless of what the media is labeling the events on January 6th, the people involved were acting of their own free will. Trump has no culpability for the actions of his supporters.

It's intellectually dishonest to say that he incited violence, especially when there's a heavily censored video of him explicitly instructing people to go home and to be peaceful [1]. [1] https://tv.gab.com/channel

No, all he said was: "Big Protest in D.C. on January 6th. Be there, will be wild!" Protest is protected by the first amendment.

I’ve also found it incredibly difficult to help depressed/lonely people without experiencing some kind of backlash. I have a jobless friend who still lives with his parents, and is always lamenting about how terrible his life is, as if

Just deleted mine, too. Thanks for the idea! Very shady move on behalf of Google. Seems like the acquisition of Fitbit was done with this intention. Idle dollars, ripe for picking.

AFAIK, you cannot view applications on iOS unless your device is jailbroken. Apps are completely opaque since there is no traversable filesystem. On Android, it is a little simpler. The vast majority of non-technical users have no knowledge

Friendly reminder that reproducible F-Droid builds of Signal are still rejected for weak reasons [1]. You must trust the Signal binaries on popular app stores [2][3]. Don’t worry though; the Signal devs assure you that signed Android binari
